You will need to reconfigure the fontconfig-config package and be sure
to enable bitmapped fonts. If you've upgraded your box over time as
Sid, there may be some crufty files in /etc/fonts/conf.d (they should
all be symlinks now except for README) that are turning bitmapped fonts
back off even though you've enabled them. I found this on a few of my
boxes. A clean Etch or later install should not have this problem.
I am using the console font with the latest KDE4 Konsole in Sid with no
problems.
